It looks as though your AoE target is simply not responding. You could try capturing a packet trace to see what's really happening.

Hmm... I was under the impression that iPXE already had support for AoE. Both the server and image certainly have all the required kernel modules and packages. Do I need to take extra steps then? If so, please point me to the relevant manual.

iPXE does already have support for AoE. However, your loaded kernel+initrd also needs to have its own support for AoE, otherwise Linux won't be able to connect to the AoE target in order to mount the root filesystem.
